Meet The Instructors 

Danny Sherwinter is an intellectual property attorney with a background in electrical engineering and aerospace innovation, having co-invented patented techniques during his time as an R&D project manager at Boeing. As a recognized "Super Lawyer" and a law professor at the University of Colorado, Danny has made his mark advising startups and global companies alike. Beyond the legal world, Danny has immersed himself in Jewish life and learning. He completed the entire Daf Yomi cycle (all 2,711 pages of Talmud!) and spent five transformative years living in Israel with his family, where his oldest of three children is currently finishing high school at a "shared society" boarding school. Danny has taught Jewish subjects extensively in Hebrew schools and adult education settings, and he remains an active participant in his local Jewish community. With a love for both Jewish tradition and lifelong learning, Danny brings his passion for ethics, history, and community to every class he teaches. 

Rabbi Jacob Chatinover (Rav Jacob) joined Bonai in the summer of 2024 as their full-time Director of Congregational Learning. His personal mission in Boulder is to foster a culture of peer-to-peer torah learning as a spiritual practice. He is a graduate of the rabbinical school of Hebrew College in Boston, and has studied at Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah, the Northwoods Kollel, and Yeshivat Hadar, and holds a BA in Near Eastern & Judaic Studies from Brandeis University. Rav Jacob is also a freelance translator of Jewish texts from all eras and genres, and specializes in early-medieval liturgical poetry. He previously served as research assistant to Rabbi Or Rose, and his writing will (God willing) be published in Rabbi Rose's next 2 books. In his many roles as an educator he has taught all ages, including at Hebrew College’s Teen Beit Midrash, and as a Jewish outdoor educator at Teva, Hazon, Pearlstone, Eden Village Camp, Ramah in the Rockies, and Bamidbar Wilderness Therapy. In addition to Torah learning, Rav Jacob likes singing, sleeping outdoors, mending things, pickling, collecting quotes, and reading comic books. Rav Jacob hopes to provide opportunities for torah learning that will foster the formation of deep and lasting relationships across the Boulder Jewish community. He is grateful to be able to learn from you all. You can get in touch with him at RavJacob@bonaishalom.org
